coquettish way, but the various fancy
gauzes and fue nets of the day, come in
acceptably, while hand baskets of flow
ers add picturesqueness. Where the
bride is married in travelling dress, O
tailor-made costume of cloth is most
fashionable and few bridal dresses for
informal weddings have been made of
white cloth combined with MORE.
TRIMMINGS.
Steel, copper, bronze, silver or gilt
trimmings have O. high position and as
principal opponents are seen braids or
passementeries, the former set or cor
sages like vests. Tho fancy for black
trimmings on colored material is mark
ed, and marked also is the popularity of
trimmings lighter than the goods they
adorn. Galoons, braids or pessomente-
RES are prominent IN this style and beads
are effective since they throw irridescent
lights, or those of paler shade on darker
fabric. Here, Likewise arc opportunities
for metal beads, and they glitter as
points OF effect or compose the whole
garniture. Beads in general hold their
own; they are loved but hardly with last
winters devotion, but nevertheless there
Is an abandon of affection shown ex-
wholly of beads, which form the entire
trimming for corsage.
EVENING DRESSES
prove that brocadcs are Indispensable,
But the brocados of this winter arc
totally different from those that have
gone before them. Both in color and
pattern there is great novelty, the form
or showing the new terra Gotta and
mahogany reds, old rose, old pink,
ceVres, leyard, lizard green, etc., tho
latter running to fern and other pointed
leaves, crysanthemums and long stemmcd
ros"s of strange hue, while vines and
woodland offerings akin, replace former
orthodox flowers. Elegant brocadcs
| show flowers on MORO surface but al
most everywhere, this last idea presents
itself. Velvet flowers on silk are also
very popular and chcne re-appears as q
remembrance Of the past. The tendency
column effects Is very marked, frequent
ly long stalks unto in continuity, sue
ccssive bouquets which do not blossom
out rOundly but arc in pointed shape
and everywhere this inclination to slen-
dcrnoss is noticeable. Stripes, on the
contrary, are sometimes conspicuously
broad and contrasts extremely marked.

general, however, arc OF all wcdths.
SAsbcH Of extraordinary beauty, repeat
the patterns of the time. Striped sashcs

where slender velvet flowers and pointed
leaves are woven on delicate silk sur

much. Striped, plaidcd, dotted and

large and less expensive element, being
